Amazing club. Excellent people who work there and take care of you. Never feel like people are starring at me. Everyone is so kind I have not have one rude encounter with anyone! Great price and recommend for beginners or people like myself who have been going to the gym 10+ years! THANK YOU WISCONSIN ATHLETIC CLUB!
It has many areas. 2 pools, 1 hottub, sauna, 2 main weight areas. A grass area where you can do anything, women only gym, yoga studio, 2 gyms, and a cycling room! On top of all this u can book trainers and classes! I highly recommend especially for those recovering from an injury.
Clean, elegant place. All you need in one place boxing, steam room, jacuzzi, and sauna. They pay attention to details which makes luxurious towels provided so as hair dryers and clothes washing services offered as well as dryers machines. I strongly recommend that gym for health and good well-being
I have been a member of the WAC for about a year. Labor day 2025 I took a serious fall in the shower at the Wauwatosa facility. A fellow member who I am grateful for went and got help. Staff members Mark Lendowski, Luke Bigis, and Nate Melendez (hopefully this is the correct spelling of there names) responded quickly. I appreciate these guys coming to my rescue. I was helped up off the floor and bandaged up. The ambulance arrived and took me to the hospital. Thank you to everyone that was involved I sincerely appreciate your help and professionalism. Tony
Joined the WAC in June and so glad I did! I'm lazy and can't motivate myself to workout at home even though I have a lot of workout equipment so the variety of classes that the WAC offers is keeping me from gaining 500 pounds. I now no longer need to worry about having to see Dr. Nowzaradan from My 600 Pound Life. Wish their rowing machines weren't so old and crappy though, the ones at Planet Fitness are better with more resistance. Also they just got 2 of these climber machines this week and I quite enjoy them.
